indoor g in the tropics???

Without much possibility to grow outside I have to consider growing indoors in the tropics. the outside air temp. ranges from 30-35C (86-95F) in the day and drops to about 25/26C (77f) during the night. I need to dial in the grow regimen for the climate here which is also humid -good for plants but good for rot,too. suggestions to buffer the climate for heat & humidity indoors?

please suggest further measures beyond venting the bulbs, using specific bulbs(??) that generate less heat, having a well ventilated room, good airflow + ventilation to outside will be a MUST.

I need help putting together the things that I absolutely MUST take care of in order to have a healthy mold-free yield. most peeps around here are fine smokin' compressed shag.

I am pretty nervous about having my whole crop go down with bud rot or pests or dying from the heat so i need the advice of seasoned indoor horticulturalists who can help me think about this and get it right.

Q: WHAT STRAINS will do well in high heat, high humidity? is there a strain that I can focus on that will do nicely here in the tropics (grown inside) given that it is hotter, more humid? should i look for something tough?

as for extra measures i'm thinking about using an Air Conditioner, De-humidifier, vented light-hoods & LED's (PLS ADVISE), lighting up the room during the night when it's cooler outside. I understand that C02 will enable the plants to tolerate higher temperatures, can anybody tell me how much so?

please help i'm green although i've been around g's for a while but this will be my first show. what strains should i run to be successful here? i think heat and humidity (pests, bud rot) are my obstacles. kindly point anything else out to me that I can't foresee. has anybody used EM1 (Effective Microorganisms) to increase plant-immunity for combating budrot?

anybody has thought this one thru?

thx

build a room with a splitsytem a/c, it willtake care of both heat and humidity, also makes it nice if you want to add c02 later.

can you elaborate on that, why particularly a split-system a/c unit and not window-mounted (cheaper)>?
also how does it make it nice to integrate C02??

Windowed unit will work just fine. split systems offer you some flexibility of where you can mount the evaporator (the part that blows the cold air). Co2 generators make some geat along w/ co2, unless you buy the tanks.
